Planning and planting a successful vegetable garden Nothing tastes better than vegetables picked fresh from your own garden. There’s a certain satisfaction to serving and eating food that you yourself have grown and harvested. Although they typically demand a good bit of space, vegetables can even be grown in window boxes. Everyone, then, can experience the many joys of the kitchen garden. Planning: Advance planning is a must as there are many factors that can affect the success and manageability of your vegetable garden as well as your enjoyment of it. The traditional method of vegetable garden design was to plant long, orderly rows. Most home gardeners now opt for planting in beds rather than rows. This method allows you to concentrate your compost on the area where the plants are growing rather than wasting it on the paths between the rows. Walking between the rows also ruins the soil structure, so beds are really a better way to go. The beds do need to be small enough so that you can easily reach in to weed and harvest all the plants without stepping on the bed itself. Also, if you raise your beds 8 to 12 inches, you will have improved drainage and the soil will stay warmer in colder weather, such as early spring. Another popular style is potager, which mixes flowers with herbs and vegetables in an ornamental fashion so that the garden is both functional and ascetically pleasing. Many vegetables also thrive in containers, so you don’t even need a garden in order to get those garden-fresh veggies. Location is another consideration when planning your garden. Many people tend to want to hide the vegetable garden away in a dark corner and save spotlight for the flowers. Vegetable gardens, however, need sunny, open spaces in order to thrive, so you won’t reap a bounty if you are not willing to devote some real estate. You can econo-
mize space by planting vegetables next to each other that mature at different times. This way, you have already harvested one when its neighbor is becoming mature, so both have plenty of space and sun when they need it most. Planting: Putting some extra effort into preparing your beds before planting will save you a lot of time and effort in the future. Dig the bed up to break up compacted soil (this will help with drainage) and removing rocks and weeds as you go. Try to pull out as much of the weed roots as possible so that they will not come back to haunt you later. This is also a good time to amend your soil. Companion Plants: There are some plants that, when planted close together, will benefit each other. Likewise, there are certain combinations of plants that will inhibit the growth of one or both types of plants. Here are a few combinations to avoid: • Potatoes – inhibit growth of tomatoes and squash
• Beans – inhibit growth of onions • Broccoli – inhibits growth of tomatoes • Carrots – inhibit growth of dill This isn’t to say that you can’t grow these plants together in the same garden, just don’t grow them right next to each other. Watering: Vegetables need a bit of extra care when it comes to watering. Consistent watering will produce successful results. If you have a large garden, you may want to consider a soaker hose. This will ensure that your plants get an even watering without getting the leaves wet and all you have to do is remember to turn on the hose. Rotating Crops: Assuming that you plan to grow vegetables more than one year, it is important that you rotate your crops. Crop rotation prevents building diseases up in the soil and preserves micro-nutrients. Rotating is not very difficult, but does take a little advance planning as well as a basic knowledge of the vegetable families. Vegetables are broken down into basic family groups. These groups should be rotated together as they use soil in similar ways and share similar pests. • Alliums include onions, garlic, scallions, shallots, and leeks. • Brassicas include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and kale. • Crucifers include turnips, radishes, rutabaga, and Collards. • Climbing or trailing plants include cucumbers, squashes (from zucchini to pumpkin), and melons. • Legumes include peas and beans. • Mescluns include arugula, Swiss chard, chicory, endive, escarole, and radiccio. • Solanaceae include tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant.

The legacy of a rose by any other name t’would still smell as sweet! by JEAN SKIBO “The rose is a legend of its own.” So wrote author Rachel Wedeen in Corralitos Roses Still Smell Sweet, about antique, or Heritage roses. “It is written that the floors of Cleopatra’s palace were carpeted with rose petals, and Confucius had, some 600 books about the proper care of this archetypal flower in his vast library. “Believed to have mysterious healing powers, Napoleon provided his officers rose petals to boil in white wine to cure lead poisoning from bullet wounds.” Roses have been a fixture of mans gardens since the days of the Pharaohs. William Penn brought roses to America in 1699; however, according to Captain John Smith, the Quaker Penn had been preceded by the Indians of the James River Valley, who had transplanted wild roses from wood and field to adorn their encampments. There are still roses, many like Harrison’s Yellow, found the length of the Oregon Trail, brought there by the Conestoga wagon trains. Makes one wonder if Adam and Eve walked among roses in the Garden of Eden. Through the years of hybridization, and
the development of the ever blooming Hybrid Teas, the old roses groups such as Damask, Gallica, Alba, and Moss fell out of favor. These heirlooms, also referred to as antique, old, or cemetery roses, are at least 100 years old or older. What, then, accounts for a renewed popularity in old roses? Perhaps there is a renewed interest in things historic such as furniture, art, or heirlooms. Perhaps one restoring an old Victorian house yearns for period roses for the garden. Perhaps there is a wanderlust in people that sends them among brambles along roadsides, into old cemeteries and home places in search of lost roses. There must be a sort of magic in growing the Musk rose immortalized by Shakespeare in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Perhaps it is because the heady fragrance of the old roses cannot be replicated in modern hybrids. The Old Blush rose is a popular Pioneer rose bred by an unknown Chinese breeder before 1793. A Pioneer rose is a variety of old roses introduced to early America from Europe. Many are hard to find today. The Old Blush was the first of the ever-blooming China roses to make its way to Europe. It has been known in the West for almost
When was the last time you had a tasty, mouthwatering,
‘Mater Sandwich?
England’s “Apothecary Rose” 250 years, but it is one of the oldest roses, having been known in China for more than 1,000 years. It was introduced in Sweden in 1752, and into England before 1759. Europeans were quite taken with the tendency of Old Blush to darken in sunlight because it looked like a lady of the court. Hence the name Old Blush. The book, In Search of Lost Roses by
Thomas Christopher, achieved an effect that far exceeded expectations. This book chronicled the fortunes and practices of persons who searched for lost roses — roses that had survived over the years in abandoned farmhouses, overgrown and weedy cemeteries, and in sites untended, unwatered, and unfed.

Garden clubbers ‘springing-up’ area gardens Town and Country Garden Clubbers welcome Spring with beautification projects in the Kings Mountain community. The beautiful raised cement flower beds bursting with blooms at the Kings Mountain Post Office are an ongoing project of the club. Japanese Maples, Kings Mountain Daylilies, Stella D’Oro Daylilies, Knockout Roses, azaleas, iris, buttercups, liriope, and seasonal annuals get tender loving care from garden clubbers, assisted by KM Post Office employee Bill Wilson whom gardeners call their “honorary member.” Newest addition to the decor is a birdhouse painted in a patriotic theme and the handiwork of Barry Gibson. “We are very proud of our beautification efforts and the efforts of homes and businesses that the club honors with the’’ “Town and Country Garden Club Appearance Award” business each month for eight months of the year,’’ said Butler. Recent work days by club members have added a pyramid trellis and variegated ivy to each of the cement planters on either side of the front door of the post office. For Arbor Day the club is planting crepe myrtle in the side yard of the post office. Butler said the club plans several work days each year to maintain the flower beds and “try” and keep the weeds under control. The Kings Mountain Garden Club, soon to celebrate its 60th anniversary, has continued its winning ways at the Cleveland County Fair where club members have taken awards in the floral exhibit for the past five years, including a first place and two second place ribbons.
Pictured are six members of the Town and Country Garden Club of Kings Mountain “Springing-up” flower bed at Kings Mountain Post Office.

Rose: by any other name t’would still smell as sweet ley in southern Oregon, looking for old farmsteads with rose bushes left by settlers. They identified 23 varieties, along with many stories about who brought them and from where, as well as some information about what these particular roses meant to people who considered them special enough to bring on the Trail. The women propagated the roses and planted them in four gardens around the state. The only remaining garden is the Lone Fir Garden in southeast Portland, Ore. This garden is a direct connection with the pioneers, kept alive by careful tending all these years. Why is the old rose held closely in the hearts of so many? Emily Morrison of Davidson, who along with husband Bill, grows over an acre of old roses, said, “I’ll tell you how long I’ve loved old roses. Since I was riding a tricycle, and I’m 78 years old.” While tricycling one day, Morrison saw a rose in a neighbor’s yard that captivated her. She couldn’t forget it. As a young bride 55 years ago, she went back to the house to see whether the rose was still there. The owner gave her a cutting, and she still has it today. It was a Charles De Mills, a pre1700’s rose with historic origins. What is the mystery about a rose that one holds in the heart for years and years, searching cemeteries or old home sites hoping to find? There is something about a rose. It is a legend of its own.

According to Christopher, the Old Blush is a rose found at Appomattox Court House. The Old Blush was a tenacious shrub rose, and was the most common rose in the dooryards of Southern cabins and shotgun shacks. Old Blush came to Virginia with the tobacco planters, and is known as the “last surviving witness” to Robert E. Lee’s signing the Articles of Surrender of the Confederate Force at Appomattox. The term “cemetery roses” is strictly an American nomenclature. Rose rustlers, the name given to those who seek out lost roses in cemeteries, claim that in some areas of the country it was the custom to plant a mother’s favorite flower on her grave. Most likely her favorite flower would have been her rose bush. The Pioneer Rose Trail by Mary Drain Albro (set in the 1930’s), tells of a garden club trying to find the truth behind an old story from pioneer days. Legend was that pioneer women brought roses with them on the Oregon Trail, somehow managing to keep them damp in the pockets of their aprons during the entire six-month journey. Truthfully, they stuck the cuttings in potatoes, enabling the roses to utilize the moisture in the potato for weeks before needing to re-soak the potato. The garden club eventually became the Pioneer Rose Association. They set forth on the Oregon Trail, from Whitman Mission in Walla Walla, Wash., to the Applegate Val-

Get up close & personal with your lawn! Take a close look at your lawn For any homeowner serious about caring for the lawn, you must occasionally get down on your hands and knees to discover early small insects that may have invaded your lawn or that a lawn disease is in its early stages. When you’re looking closely at your lawn, look for unusual discoloration or spots on the leaf blades. Also, when you’ re down close you can get a pretty good idea of how sharp your mower blade is by how clean the cut is. If most of the cut leaves of grass do not have fuzzy white-ish fibers sticking out past the cut line, your mower blade is probably sharp enough. If you’re examining your lawn close up and it looks a little thinner than usual, and the grass leaf blades appear to be folded along a center crease, this may indicate that the grass is trying to protect itself when it is very hot and dry. Although this is not necessarily cause for alarm, if your lawn has been getting an adequate supply of water, then the folded leaves are just an interesting bit of plant behavior. Also on close examination, chances are pretty good that you will notice an insect, a spider or perhaps an ant here and there. But again, unless you find these in great numbers, you need not be concerned. Most lawns are made up of several desirable varieties of grass. For instance, many bluegrass lawns also contain fescues and perennial rye. When standing over the lawn
it can be very difficult to distinguish the different varieties that are mixed together. However, examining the length, width, color, smoothness, etc. of the grass blades when you are close up will help you identify the different types of grass that make up your lawn. The whole point of getting down and close is to become better acquainted with your lawn, the soil it grows in, and the insects that live there. And besides, getting down on your hands and knees and poking around through the grass can be a bit of an adventure. The kind of adventure maybe not experienced since childhood - and we could all use more of those.
sary stress. Additionally, it will not allow you to easily mulch as you mow. All too often a homeowner will let the lawn overgrow to maybe 6 inches and then mow with the mower set at 2 inches. That practice is extremely hard on the turf. In the springtime, when most grasses have an accelerated surge in growth, it is healthier for your lawn to mow more often. Often dur-
How often should you mow? For many busy homeowners, the only time they have to mow their lawn is on the weekend. However, if your lifestyle allows you to mow your lawn when you see fit, here are some suggestions as to when it is most desirable to mow. The ideal time to mow your lawn is when the length that you will be removing is equal to 1/4 to 1/3 of the length that will be left behind. An example of this for a lawn that consists mostly of Kentucky Blue Grass and is being maintained at a height of 3 inches, is to mow when the turf height reaches 4 inches. Please note, this is not rocket science. The aim is to avoid mowing such that you’re removing half or more of the turf’s height at a time. When you cut that much off during one mowing, it will put your turf under unneces-
Perhaps you have driven down S. Battleground Ave. in Kings Mountain of late and noticed the blooming daffodils and pansies smiling at you as you cross over W. Mountain St. Under the large holly tree with the colorful Christmas lights, which has been limbed up to meet the plants needs for sunlight, the Kings Mountain Women’s Club took charge of their garden plot this past fall to add to the beauty of our community. Much thought and planning was put into what plants would thrive in the new setting and once the tree was limbed up planting began! The Conservation Community Service Program chair, Shelley Eagan, organized the project and received support from Howard Elmore at Hometown Hardware
ing the heat of the summer months, lawns will go into dormancy. When and if this happens to your lawn, you will find it does not need to be mowed for much longer periods of time. So when it comes to the timing of your mowing, just keep in mind to mow it as necessary so that you’re not removing too much of its growth at any one mowing.
KMWC brings beauty to downtown By Shelley Proffitt Eagan
and Cliff Laurich from Cee Jay’s Landscapes. Diane Proffitt donated the daffodil bulbs and Proffitt Family Cattle Co. donated cow manure, of course, to make sure we were off to a strong start! The day of soil modification, digging, planting, and trash removal from our plot, so vital to any gardening project, was accompanied by many friendly honks from passing cars and waves of encouragement! The labor was done in a half day’s work via the teamwork of Shelly Eagan, Diane Proffitt, Betty Benton, Johnsie Reavis, Vice Pres, and Betty Gamble,Pres. This spring the KMWC plans to plant fall blooming bulbs and add more organic fertilizer, cow manure, and some summer annuals to keep you smiling with pride at the beauty of our downtown. If you happen to be in the downtown area and see us digging away give us a honk and a wave!

Spring ‘to-do’ list A visit to the herb garden Spring Garden Maintenance
Every season brings a different set of chores in the garden. Spring is an exciting time for gardeners as preparations are made for the bounty and beauty of the garden as it awakes from winter hibernation. It can also, however, be a bit overwhelming to know how to prioritize your gardening time at this time of year. Here is a helpful list of chores that should be tended to in the spring. Pruning For early blooming shrubs such as forsythia and viburnum, prune them as soon as blooms have passed. Early spring is also an ideal time to prune your roses. Deadheading Remove spent flowers from bulbs, but leave the rest of the plant as is for the time being. Weeding Pull weeds from your beds and borders before they have a chance to take hold and spread. Composting Tend to your compost if it has been neglected over the winter. If you do not have a compost bin, spring is a great time to start one. Tools Spring is a good time to prepare your tools for the oncom-
ing gardening season and to make any necessary repairs or new purchases. You will be happy you have done so when summer sets in. Plant Spring is a great time to add new plants to your garden. Be sure, however, that all threat of frost has past. Plant such things as trees, shrubs, hardy annuals, and summer blooming bulbs. Fertilize & Mulch Fertilize and mulch beds and borders. Spring is also a good time to fertilize fruit trees. If you applied heavy winter mulch for protection from the cold, you will need to clear it away. Staking Stake plants that may be prone to wind damage during the unpredictable spring weather. Lawn Care Spring is the best time to start a new lawn from seed. For established lawns, you should start mowing in the spring, but don’t initially cut the grass very short for the first few times. Of course, whether you start these chores in early, mid, or late spring depends on the climate where you live, taking in to account such factors as when the threat of frost has past or when the ground is thawed enough to dig.
Last September, the Kings Mountain Historical Museum received a donation from the former Kings Mountain Garden Club “to be used for garden and/or landscape work on the museum grounds”. Over the years, the Museum and the Garden Club maintained a conversation regarding the addition of an herb garden to further interpret the lifestyles of early Kings Mountain residents. Therefore, it was only fitting that, in January, Cliff Laurich of CeeJay’s landscapes, undertook the task of preparing an herb garden plot. The 13’x18’ piece of land is now filled with a variety of herbs including sage, thyme and lavender. The herb garden sits adjacent to the Robert Barber House in the Museum Commons and will be used during various events to help educate the community on life in the area during the 18th century. On May 15, the Museum will open an exhibit on gardening and agriculture in Kings Mountain in conjunction with the new herb garden. The exhibit will feature historic scrapbooks from the Kings Mountain Garden Club as well as agricultural tools used by local residents. Various children’s programs are being developed to accompany the exhibit. The exhibit will run from May 15 - June 2.

Planting: a vegetable garden From page 2 Perennial vegetables such as asparagus, rhubarb and artichokes should not be rotated and therefore should be planted separately. The rest (most vegetables are hardy or semi-hardy annuals) should be rotated every year on a four year plan (so that the same family of vegetables is not planted in the same location within four years). Timing: How many times have you had a co-worker or friend arrive at your home or office with bags full of zucchini or cucumbers? If you plant all your vegetables at the same time, everything will come to maturity at the same time. The solution is to continually plant small amounts of short-season vegetables throughout the growing season. That way, you can enjoy your vegetables all summer long and not be overwhelmed by them all at once. Nothing, however, will save you from the dreaded on-
slaught of zucchini; I just don’t plant it and that way I’m happy for the occasional gift. If they start to bomb you with bags of it, drop ‘em off the Christmas card list and shun ‘em. Nothing like a good old fashioned shunning to get those zucchini pushers in line... Vegetable container gardens: Veg e tables that thrive when planted in containers include tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, carrots, chard, lettuce, beans, peas, and cucumbers. Ornamental vegetables: Who says that vegetables garden are homely? There are many vegetables that, in addition to tasting good, are also very attractive. These include sweet peas, French (green) beans, runner beans, endive, kale, red cabbage and ruby chard. Vegetable gardening can be great fun and it is truly rewarding to enjoy delicious food from your own garden. With these basics tips, you are well on your way. Enjoy!
